エリザベス・グレゴリーは、アメリカのジェンダー研究者、英文学者。ヒューストン大学教授で、同大学の女性・ジェンダー・セクシュアリティ研究所所長を務める。女性の就業、生殖をめぐる選択、家族形成の時期と経済的自立の関係を研究している。『The Real Domestic Product: How Birth Control Built Equality (and Why the Future of the Economy and the Planet Depends on It)』(未邦訳)では、避妊や人工妊娠中絶へのアクセスが女性の教育、雇用、政治参加を広げ、経済成長にも寄与してきたと論じる一方、その制限が無償の家事・ケア労働や低賃金労働を女性に再び集中させる危険を指摘している。
Elizabeth Gregory is an American scholar of gender studies and English literature. She is a professor at the University of Houston and director of its Institute for Research on Women, Gender & Sexuality. Her research examines the connections among women’s employment, reproductive choice, the timing of family formation, and economic independence. In “The Real Domestic Product: How Birth Control Built Equality (and Why the Future of the Economy and the Planet Depends on It),” she argues that access to contraception and abortion has expanded women’s participation in education, employment, and civic life while contributing to economic growth. She also warns that restricting reproductive choice risks shifting unpaid domestic and care work, as well as low-paid labor, back onto women.
